This lightweight set was
intended to replace the earlier EC-1 model built by the
Hallicrafters acquisition, Echophone. Strangely, it pre-dates
the S-38 (despite the higher model number) and had a very
short production run. Despite that, it is relatively
common in both the 'G' (Grey) and 'W' (White) versions -
each version has a different style knob. It is also
unusual in having top and bottom removable covers to
allow access to a chassis that is removeable only by
undoing 4 mounting screws, unsoldering the 4 slide
switches and dropping the volume and bandswitch controls!
